Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

A Safer, Evidence-Based Path to Recovery

At C-Line Community Outreach Services, we understand that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. For many individuals, especially those battling opioid addiction, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) provides a proven, science-backed path toward stability and long-term healing.

Our MAT program combines FDA-approved medications like Suboxone and Buprenorphine with personalized counseling and behavioral therapy. This integrated approach helps reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and rebuild confidence — while keeping you connected to compassionate, community-based care.

What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

MAT is a specialized form of treatment for individuals struggling with opioid use disorders. It uses carefully prescribed medications to normalize brain chemistry, relieve physiological cravings, and stabilize emotions, allowing clients to fully engage in therapy and daily life.

At C-Line, MAT is never a stand-alone solution. It’s part of a comprehensive recovery plan that includes therapy, peer support, and case management to help clients rebuild from the inside out.

Benefits of MAT at C-Line

Our Approach to MAT

Every client in our MAT program receives a personalized treatment plan designed by a licensed clinician. This plan includes:

A comprehensive assessment to determine eligibility and medication type
Medication management with safe, monitored dosing
Individual and group counseling to address behavioral and emotional aspects of addiction
Relapse prevention planning and community support integration
Coordination with other medical providers, when needed

Medications We Use

We offer two primary MAT options under medical supervision:

Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone)

Helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the euphoric effects of opioids.

Buprenorphine

A partial opioid agonist that blocks the effects of stronger opioids while easing withdrawal discomfort.

Combining Medication and Therapy

At C-Line, we believe true recovery goes beyond medication. Our MAT program is fully integrated with counseling and support services to help clients address emotional triggers, rebuild relationships, and develop long-term coping skills.
